Afghan Whigs Hit Studio!

Following the current leg of The Twilight Singers 2006 world tour, the band will take a short break while Greg Dulli, John Curley, Rick McCollum and a to-be-named drummer convene to work on four Afghan Whigs tracks for the upcoming Rhino retrospective. An updated release date for that album has not been publicized.

These recordings will be the first new tracks from the band in 8 years, since The Afghan Whigs’ swan song, 1965.

Unless they had a falling out in Europe, I’m about 100% sure that Bobby will be the drummer here. I had a chance to talk with him on the tour and he mentioned a project with Greg and John in the fall. And really has Dulli ever played with a better drummer? I think not.
